Dimerizing hard spherocylinders in porous media

Condensed Matter Physics
This research focuses on the unique phase behavior of non-spherical patchy colloids in porous environments. Based on the theory of scaled particle (SPT), methods have been refined and applied to analyze the thermodynamic properties of non-spherical ...

Biased suppression of TP homodimerization and signaling through disruption of a TM GxxxGxxxL helical interaction motif

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) by activating platelets and vascular constriction and proliferation. Despite their preclinical efficacy, pharmacological antagonists of the TXA2 receptor (TP), a G protein-coupled receptor,

Competition of Dimerization and Charge Ordering in the Spin-Peierls State of Organic Conductors

, 2003
The effect of the charge ordering on the spin-Peierls (SP) state has been examined by using a Peierls-Hubbard model at quarter-filling with dimerization, on-site and nearest-neighbor repulsive interactions.

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

Atom-dimer and dimer-dimer scatterings in a spin-orbit-coupled Fermi gas

Physical Review A, 2021
Using the diagrammatic approach, here we study how spin-orbit coupling (SOC) affects the fermion-dimer and dimer-dimer scattering lengths in the Born approximation, and benchmark their accuracy with the higher-order approximations. We consider both isotropic and Rashba couplings in three dimensions, and show that the Born approximation gives accurate ...

HpFBH3 transactivates HpCO7 via binding to the E-boxes in the promoter and may accelerate flower formation in pitaya

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Hylocereus polyrhizus, also known as pitaya or dragon fruit, is a climbing cactus grown worldwide because of its excellent performance under drought stress and appealing red-purple fruits.

Visualizing Rous Sarcoma Virus Genomic RNA Dimerization in the Nucleus, Cytoplasm, and at the Plasma Membrane

Viruses, 2021
Retroviruses are unique in that they package their RNA genomes as non-covalently linked dimers. Failure to dimerize their genomes results in decreased infectivity and reduced packaging of genomic RNA into virus particles.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Dimerization of ADAR1 modulates site-specificity of RNA editing

Nature Communications
Adenosine-to-inosine editing is catalyzed by adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs) in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) regions. Although three ADARs exist in mammals, ADAR1 is responsible for the vast majority of the editing events and acts on thousands ...

Investigating the Functional Role of the Cysteine Residue in Dehydrin from the Arctic Mouse-Ear Chickweed Cerastium arcticum

Molecules, 2022
The stress-responsive, SK5 subclass, dehydrin gene, CaDHN, has been identified from the Arctic mouse-ear chickweed Cerastium arcticum. CaDHN contains an unusual single cysteine residue (Cys143), which can form intermolecular disulfide bonds.
